Labels that have a similar sound to KOMPAKT ?

Yep, just doing some research and looking for some good labels that have a deep subtle tech-house sound to them. Been listening to a few Kompakt compilations recently and have fallen in love with the sound - this, coming from a joof/psytrance/psyprog fanboy.
Klik Records has a nice selection too.

I especially like the deep japanese techhouse style from quite a number of japanese producers: hiroshi watanabe [kaito], satoshi fumi, takayuki higo, susumu yokota and hideo kobayashi [nagano's kitchen].

So yeah, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, I havent touched my DJ equipment for a couple of months ~ not much good psy stuff around to motivate me but it looks like this sort of sound may well do so! :toothless

cheers.

btw, love these guys too.

Watanabe and Fumi being my favs out of those.
If you haven't heard these check out
Hiroshi Watanabe - Genesis (CD Album from 06)
Satoshi Fumi - Treasure EP
Satoshi Fumi pres Elektron - Loop 4 (Seedmaster is awesome)
Joshua Collins - LILO (Satoshi Fumi's Kaleidoscope Mix)
Beat Blog
Soma Quality Recordings perhaps?

...and in the psy region - Zen Mechanics - Holy Cities.

You are probably more in the warm Deep "Detroitesque" Techno/Tech-House
sound, not necessarily in the more stripped-down minimal-techno sound of Kompakt. For Kompakt-stuff (and style) try the following albums (if you haven't already):

The Field- "From Here We Go Sublime"

Gui Borrato- "Chromophobia"

SCSI-9 - "The Line Of Nine" (these has the more "warmer deep" elements as well,but still, it is quite glitchy and minimalistic)

Isolee - "We Are Monster" ( it is considered a monument in minimalistic and glitchy techno/ tech-house. I personally never liked this sound but you can give it a go!)


But i think that you definitelly gonna like these: (these are both new and older albums to get an idea)


Vince Watson - "The eMotion Sequence" (melodic and layered, warm, deep-techno. MUST listen.)

Vince Watson - "Moments in Time" (older album but still very good lush-techno music.)

Joris Voorn - "From A Deep Place" (if you don't already know this...)

Claro Intelecto- "Metanarrative" (deep and melodic techno, with an experimental IDM edge. Excellent album)

Aril Brikha - "Ex-Machina" (new deep-techno album by Aril Brikha has some old-school trance elements as well. Famous though)

John Beltran - "Ten Days of Blue" (classic melodic and ambient techno masterpiece. Old but excellent! What can i say, my favorite techno album.)

Funk D'Void- "Dos" (second album by Funk D'Void, and an excellent album it is. Very deep and lush, with a "tech-house" edge)

Funk D'Void - "Volume Freak" (third album by this guy. Following from the previous album, this is even more melodic and "full".)

Sterac - "Secret Life Of Machines" (STEve RAChmad's techno masterpiece, and a techno masterpiece in general!)

Alex Smoke- "Incommunicado" (an excellent experimental melodic techno album, mashing IDM, Detroit techno, electro-Italo-disco, ambient and minimalism.)

Stacey Pullen - "The Theory Of" (fantastic album. Verry trippy and deep).

Carl Craig - "Landcruising" (the Detroit-Techno master's deep masterpiece.)


There are probably more, but start with these ones!

:thepirate :cool: :cool:



Plus:

Circulation - "Colours-1" (I always forget this. Absolutely amazing melodic techno/tech-house, but VERY hard to find these days. Second favorite after John Beltran!)

Ive got that, im surprised Circulation doesnt get more love here at TA, they seem to get lost through the cracks. They have a lot of great well aging stuff.
